Here is a reply by me from another thread...

Srry folks for the late reply... Prices of some of the screens are as below...

Pioneer brand(manufacturer's original brand) 16:9
92"(45"x80") = 5k(manual) , 10k(motorized without remote), 15k (motorized with remote)

100"(49"x87")= 6k(manual), 11k(motorized without remote), 16k(motorized with remote)

110"(54"x96")=7k(Manual), 12k(motorized without remote), 17k(motorized with remote)

120"(58"x104")=10k(Manual), 15k(motorized without remote), 18k(motorized with remote)


Add 4k to these prices for a Grandview Manual with CSR(the system that slowly retracts the screen) & add 4k to the motorized with remote screen prices to get the respective Grandview prices... Grandview does not have motorized without remote option...Also u can add 2k instead of 4k to calculate the prices of another brand they stocked called picture perfect(its priced in between Pioneer & Grandview)... I will try to explain the diff terminology that I have used in this post...

1)Manual:- This just means that it is a manual pull down screen...
2)Manual with CSR:- This too is a Manual pull down screen but when u want to retract the screen after using it it retracts slowly... A great feature to have...
3)Motorized with remote:- This means that the screen is motorized with a RF remote control... The costliest option... Not my personal choice considering the increased cost & the fact that u have to deal with 1 more damn remote on ur table...
4)Motorized without remote:- Like the name says, it does not come with a RF remote... What it does come with is a wired switch to use the screen... I liked this option as the wire can be extended to place the switch on anywhere on the wall which is convenient to u...Like next to ur couch... & u end up saving 5-7k coz u save on the RF remote... So u get the joy of a motorized screen at a bang for buck price point...

I would further like to add when I visited the screen manufacturers facility I tried to compare the screen material of Grandview & Pioneer... What I found was there was no diff at all... It was the same shade of white & the texture was the same so was the thickness... Infact I would like to seen someone do a blind test of the materiels & try to tell the diff... Another point my Uncle who recommended pioneer made was that they use almost all metal parts to manufacture pioneer screens where as the grandview ones are manufactured in China & they use a lot of plastic parts... My Uncle deals in DJ equipments & so he knows these screens are very durable... He has been using them for the last 15 years or so...So have most of the Audio professionals in Mumbai... Grandview sells more coz of its brandname... Like u ask anyone about bose they will instantly recognize the brand... But when u pit Bose against other systems like Onkyo or Yamaha then u will know which has real value for money & which does not
Hope this post helped u guys out...

PS almost forgot to post the contact info
Contact us - Pioneer Screens

@moviemaniac In the case of TV/Projector screens just as some parts of the human autonomy, Bigger is Better ... You say u have 11 feet width... Assuming u have to leave out 3 feet for the speakers(1.5feet on either side),u would still have 8 feet which is good enough for a 106"/110" screen...

@Others I have linked the contact details of Pioneer in the quote... These ppl are Screen manufacturers as well as sellers... They stock the brands Pioneer(their own brand), Picture perfect(this too is their own brand if I am not wrong) & Grandview... As they are manufacturers they can build the screen according to ur requirements & size... As far as the issue of shipping goes I dont think that might be a problem for manual or motorized screens but Fixed screen(especially 150") might be quite costly(both actual cost & shipping wise)... I could ask them personally for u guys but the chances of me going back to their facility before mid NOV is quite low...

PS If you buy with Bill then VAT is extra...
